Super Mario Galaxy Movie Dominates Box Office

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has made waves at the box office, enjoying eight consecutive weekends of impressive earnings. This animated sequel has now outstripped the global revenue of Oppenheimer, securing its place among Universal's top three highest-grossing films globally. Furthermore, it has outperformed Despicable Me 4, inching closer to becoming one of the highest-grossing animated films since the COVID-19 pandemic began.

In its eighth weekend, the film earned around $3.2 million in North America. Despite losing 788 screens across the U.S. and Canada, it only saw a slight drop of 30.2% from the previous weekend. By the end of this weekend, its domestic total reached $423.6 million, with an additional $880,000 reported on Monday, bringing the North American total to $424.5 million. This achievement allows it to surpass A Minecraft Movie, making it the second-highest-grossing video game adaptation in U.S. history.

On the international front, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie brought in about $5.5 million during its eighth weekend, although it faced a notable decline of 63.3% from the prior weekend, likely due to its release on streaming platforms. When domestic earnings are combined, the film's total worldwide gross stands at an impressive $980.3 million, as reported by Box Office Mojo.

This weekend marked a significant achievement for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, as it surpassed the global earnings of both Oppenheimer and Despicable Me 4. With a worldwide total of $975.8 million, it has become Universal's third-highest-grossing film since the pandemic. Additionally, it now ranks as the sixth-highest-grossing animated film during this period, as it continues its quest to reach the coveted $1 billion milestone globally.

Having premiered in theaters on April 1, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie features notable performances from Chris Pratt and Jack Black. As the film continues to attract audiences, industry experts are keenly observing its box office performance and potential for further financial success.
